Chattanooga Zoo
Old 16-05-2008
The Chatanooga Zoo plans to import a male Jaguar from Argentina. Taken from the US Federal Register:

Quote:
Applicant: Chattanooga Zoo, Chattanooga, TN, PRT-178755.

The applicant requests a permit to import one captive-born male
jaguar (Panthera onca) from Complejo Ecologico Municipal, Presidencia
Roque Saenz Pena, Argentina, for the purpose of enhancement of survival
of the species.
The zoo has a small, but nice shaded exhibit in the corner of the zoo. They are also in the midst of a complete renovation and expansion of this small zoo. I've been following their progress for the last nine years, and they are doing quite well for themselves...the whole zoo looks completely different from its humble and very out-dated self in 1999 when it was known as the Warner Park Zoo. It's one of the best small zoos that I have been to.

There should be a plan of the zoo's masterplan on this website.

The zoo doesnt have much of a reptile collection...could you be refering to the Tennesse Aquarium also in Chattanooga? I visited a few years back and they have a mighty extensive turtle collection.

Got this year's Chattanooga Zoo map in the mail today. They use the same company and format as the Oregon Zoo (one of my favorite zoomaps). Also in the map, it mentions a complete renovation and expansion of the zoo's Jaguar exhibit that will now include two Jaguar pens in 2009!
